After being in a relationship for 2 years which involved myself bringing a business over (used partners business name) the relationship has hit a rough patch and now my partner wants me to step away from the company and he will run the business before he doesn't like how it's been ran. He claims he will pay me to stay away from the office and staff.
I am feeling extremely pushed out and feel I don't matter anymore. He has intentions of having his father and daughter work for company but now me.
I don't know what to do. Would you walk away from business or fight the point?

2 year relationship and it’s your business? Keep it and do not let him take over now, especially with relationship ending and his plans for his family to take it over. I mean unless you’re ready to walk away, then make sure he buys you out.
It's his business? You will have to walk away. I'm sorry but if he wants to pay you to stay away things must be bad. Ask to be paid anything you've invested, go back to where you came from and start your business again, fresh and the way you want.
I took the business I had for 18 months and he assisted me to put it under his business name it was originally my business.
I don't feel I should be pushed out, it's currently turning over 800k a year
So why would you do as he says! It’s yours. Sounds like he is scamming you.
Are you considering leaving? It sounds complicated and probably something you need to speak to a professional about. It's hard to know exactly what's fair and what's not without knowing exactly how the business changed over and who contributed what. You probably should have sold your business to him instead of just changing it over as now legally its his. I would honestly ask to be paid out then go separate ways, it's only been 2 years and he's trying to push you out of something you started, that's not a good relationship.
Probably a question for a solicitor if your relationship ends...I'm guessing his ABN etc?
Why did you use your partner's buiness name?
And if you are in the office, are you bickering or is their tension etc?
Can you work different days?
Is it a rough patch you can work through or is the realationship coming to an end?
It sounds stressful you poor thing, i hope you're ok.
Sounds like he is preparing to get rid of you. Do not give it to him.
Get a solicitor & get all your documents together to show you started it before he came along and all the work you've done. At the very least he'd have to buy you out.
Sounds like he has scammed his way into getting your business and now he wants out on his own with it. This sounds shifty! Don’t sign anything or do a thing about it.
Let him step away!
Time to go seek legal advice. I would also consider going and see a psych and work on your self worth.
If he treats you this way in business then that is not who you want to spend your life with. You’re worth more than that.
